A/N: Who knows where this came from. Spur of the moment, 2-minute writing process. Very depressed. The title has hardly any relation to the fic except for the whole Star-Spangled Banner' thing (LGaM#1, DMD)

----------

It's too cold in here.

I wonder what I said in the neural cluster?
No, really, I think I'm freezing. Maybe hypothermia. Frostbite? Something...
Is this death?
Scorpius said I was going to live.
He didn't say for how long.
He said I was condemned.
Screw him.
He made me kill Aeryn.
No, he didn't.
But --
He let you go.

Right before you landed on her ship.

But he sent the impulse to my brain before he gave me back control --
But you could have stopped it.
No.
You could have pulled up.
No... no, the speed... I couldn't have pulled up that fast.
Then you could have changed your course.

You could have veered over and missed her ship.
By a hair.
But I would have crashed.
So?

He would have stopped me. As soon as he felt me trying it.
You could have fought it....
I could have fought it every time.
He's too strong for me.
You fought it every other time before.
.....I'm not quitting. I just can't go on.

Screw you too.

Is this death?

He took over again right after, anyway.
Fireworks.
But he let you go when there was no hope left.
That's his style.
She's gone. I can't change it.
The chip's gone now. He's gone.

I'm all alone.

Where am I? Is it death?
I really wish I knew.
The waiting is the hardest part.

It's too cold in here.
